No one knows what happened to Ellen – not her husband; not Tycon Technologies, where Ellen is an executive involved with military projects; not her friends, neighbors or family.

Not discounting these possibilities, the local FBI agents focus on espionage and kidnapping. While the detectives butt heads with the FBI, Ellen’s insurance money pours in and her husband takes a powder.
